...
"Why are there so many trait points left?"
Lu Xun showed a puzzled expression.
After a careful look, he suddenly realized.
The projection fusion only took about ten thousand, and the remaining trait points could still be used for further evolution to enhance the Life Level.
After all, he had accumulated those trait points over thirteen years in one go!
How could it be used up just reaching the Low Level?
He could still ascend further!
To the Middle Level, or even the High Level!
But he immediately thought back to the excruciating pain he just experienced, and couldn't help showing a trace of trepidation in his eyes.
"…I'm not just chickening out… I just want to take it slow, take it slow..."
Lu Xun's throat moved with difficulty as he muttered to himself: "Let's pause for an hour… I need to catch my breath."
It was really too painful!
It was as if every cell, every piece of tissue in his body was being shredded and then reassembled.
If hell really had a torture called "boiling in oil," then the pain Lu Xun just went through matched it.
He suddenly envied the masked man who had a prosthetic godsend like a "pain editor."
He could directly eliminate the sense of pain.
Though he wasn't very afraid of pain, he had to take a break before proceeding; otherwise, he truly couldn't stand it.
"What does the race '???' mean?"
Lu Xun was somewhat displeased: "Can't you tell I'm human?"
So much for All-Knowing Right Hand.
The next moment, the race column indeed changed to the name "Human" as he wished.
'Current Life Form? Let's call it 'Normal Form.''
'As for the other form, let me switch and see the effect.'
Thinking this, Lu Xun stood up from the ground.
He smelled a foul stench; his clothes were soaked in blood, sweat, and various black stains, making them very filthy.
So, he walked into the bathroom and took off all his clothes.
Looking in the mirror, Lu Xun barely recognized the person opposite him!
The face was the same, but the facial lines were sharper and more rigid, and the touch of youthful innocence was gone.
The most exaggerated was the change in physique.
He used to have thin arms and legs, with collarbones and ribs distinctly visible, almost no flesh on his body.
But now his body boasted full and balanced muscles distributed over various parts.
His shoulders were broad, arms robust, chest muscular, and his eight-pack abs neatly arranged, with lats visible from the front below the ribs. Even his neck became slightly thicker, looking very strong.
Lu Xun turned around, looking at his back in the mirror.
The back muscles were equally well-developed, with the erectores spinae muscles protruding above the tight glutes, resembling an olive shape. The teres major and teres minor at the scapular area were also clearly defined.
His developed lats resembled two bat wings.
The muscle dimensions of the body weren't particularly large but were very balanced, coordinated, and aesthetically pleasing, appropriate in size.
Filled with power and yet possessing aesthetic beauty.
"My height increased a bit as well, looks over 1.85 meters…"
Lu Xun nodded very satisfied, narcissistically evaluated: "A top male model's physique!"
He suddenly felt that the pain he had just endured was nothing.
Don't regular people ache from working out too? Muscles grow stronger through cycles of tearing and healing.
But still, many people get addicted to working out.
Because while feeling the pain, they can also feel themselves getting stronger.
It's quite fulfilling, the joy in the pain.
"Let's switch forms and see."
Lu Xun took a deep breath, activating the "switch" deep in his consciousness.
Buzz~
In an instant, his body trembled.
The dimensions of his muscles rapidly increased at a visible pace, and his height also rose bit by bit.
In a blink, he transformed into a two-meter-tall, muscle-packed, fiber-layered and engorged, blood-veined muscular beast!
He seemed to grow a size larger!
At the same time, scarlet lines appeared on the surface of his skin; mystical patterns with an ancient aura appeared on his waist and abdomen, chest, back, and neck.
'Ah, my head itches, feels like something's going to grow…'
As soon as the thought hit, Lu Xun saw, in the mirror, two scarlet beast horns emerging "sss" from his dense black hair above his forehead.
Tusks also began to subtly appear at the sides of his lips.
His eye color shifted from black to blood-red, captivatingly intense.
Even his appearance changed, becoming brutish and extremely menacing.
Completely unrecognizable from Lu Xun's original look.
The back's transformation also startled him.
The latissimus dorsi's fascia beneath stretched strikingly.
The layers of tendon folds forming resembled a mouth shape.
The teres major and minor on both scapulas developed excessively, creating two indentions like eyes after the fascia stretching.
Instead of calling it a back "Christmas tree," calling it a "ghost face" was more fitting.
"This is too exaggerated?!"
Lu Xun stared slack-jawed at the muscular beast in the mirror.
He felt he had inexhaustible power, feeling capable of causing devastating damage effortlessly, even ripping apart armor barehanded.
"We'll call this form the Ghost God Body!"
He analyzed himself again, receiving feedback in his mind——
[Race: Human (can be freely renamed)]
[Life Level: Middle]
[Current Life Form: Ghost God Body]
[Special Skills: Blood-Hunting Soul, Crimson Flame Body, Mountain-Shaking Strength]
[Biological Traits: Fierce Power Lv3, Rigid Lv3, Vibration Lv2, Vitality Lv4, Burning Lv3]
[Talent: Form Switching → Normal Form]
[Available Trait Points: 65048 points]
After transforming, the Life Level increased by a notch!
In more mystical terms, it was like his power rose by a Great Realm!
The specific manifestation was that the levels of various "biological traits" rose several levels.
"I integrated the Special-level Orge Race Gene, meaning I won't face a bottleneck until reaching Special Level; as long as there's enough trait points, the Ghost God Body can ascend to Special Level!"
Lu Xun grew excited.
That masked man injected himself with enhancement needles nine times, yet only became a Low-Level Life.
It's just that he had a lot of impressive military-grade prosthetics, giving him combat power far exceeding his Life Level.
Lu Xun, though without prosthetic implants, still had over sixty thousand trait points!
He decided to evolve every hour until the trait points ran out.
To become strong, a little pain was nothing!
Woosh——
He switched back to Normal Form, the ghost horn and tusks disappeared, restoring his original appearance.
His height rapidly fell back to 1.85 meters, and the explosive muscle size swiftly shrunk, becoming proportionate.
He turned on the shower and enjoyed a hot water bath comfortably.
Then, he washed his clothes.
Putting on the damp clothes.
"Crimson Flame Body!"
With a thought, fire attribute magic elements surged from all around.
He controlled his body temperature to rise slowly, his skin gradually turning reddish and scalding until it stopped at a certain degree.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle——
Steam arose.
The clothes dried in just half a minute.
The Orge Race fought with their physical bodies, not studying magic, but they did know a bit.
This Red Orge had a Racial Divine Technique called "Heaven-Burning Fury," which was the only place needing Magic Essence.
After the gene fusion, the special skill Lu Xun acquired, "Crimson Flame Body," derived from "Heaven-Burning Fury."
He wasn't sure whether this counts as optimization or worsening.
The Red Orge's divine technique "Blood-Seeking Soul Chaser" also transformed into the special skill "Blood-Hunting Soul."
Mountain-Shaking Strength didn't change too much.
This demonstrated he hadn't transformed into an Orge Race.
But into a new life form, merging features of both humans and Orge Race.
"Right, Old Octopus asked me to send something for someone."
Lu Xun slapped his forehead, remembering there was still one thing undone.
